Koeman confident Southampton have regrouped for Liverpool clash

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman is confident they're regrouped ahead of their clash with Liverpool.

Saints host the Reds without a win in their last four league and cup matches at home.

Koeman said: "It's all about teams. I don't expect Liverpool this Sunday in that way to come but we have to know that Swansea and West Ham didn't come to Southampton to play open and offensive.

"That brings more difficulties for us and we didn't have really the quality to break it down.

"This Sunday game is totally different but it's all about the sharpness in the box, all about possibilities.

"It's normal that strikers like Pelle and Tadic are not always on the highest level but we didn't have really other players to change and that makes it more difficult.

"I believe in the qualities of the players and I think it's a good time to score goals and create opportunities than the last games."
